Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 48 Accidental Discovery
All of this was beyond his expectation. If Hongyan really owned the emerald jade hairpin, then things would become more complicated.

It is no accident that one person is involved in two murders.

Li Canghai believes that all accidents in the world have their inevitable reasons, whether it is Huangfuwei or the government servants, they all died of the 'yin and yang double Gu'.And Hongyan is a native of Miaojiang, and knows Gu worms very well, I am afraid that all this cannot be a coincidence.

Li Canghai thought of Yang Su's purse containing the 'Fire Melting Gu Worm', and that purse was a gift from Hongyan as a token of love.

It is also a thing of Hongyan, and there are the same Gu worms inside. If it is said that this matter has nothing to do with her, no one will believe it.

Li Canghai suddenly realized that Hongyan was probably the murderer who killed Huangfuwei, and Yang Su was just a scapegoat.

But what he couldn't figure out was that the yamen servant didn't know her well, so why did he use Gu to harm him?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't mean to stop at all.

Li Canghai walked aimlessly with his head down, and unknowingly came to the Cuihong Building.

"My lord, come in, don't stand outside in the rain!"

"Hey, this young man is quite handsome! Hehehe."

……

A few frivolous and coquettish smiles came, and several women who only wore tulle gauze kept waving their arms at Li Canghai, and the coquettish and coquettish smiles continued.

"Mr. Li? Why are you outside in the rain?"

Just when Li Canghai was hesitating whether to go in, Hongyan appeared at the door at some point. Seeing him drenched in the rain, Hongyan hurriedly held up an umbrella and took him in.

In the boudoir, Li Canghai put the cloth bag on the table, then walked behind the screen and twisted up his clothes.

Li Canghai twisted his clothes and glanced at Hongyan out of the corner of his eye.

Hongyan was sitting at the table at this time, pouring ginger soup for him. Whether it was intentional or not, her eyes always looked at the cloth bag inadvertently.

Li Canghai frowned suddenly, but soon he walked out pretending not to know.

"Mr. Li, quickly drink this bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold." Hongyan picked up the bowl, handed it to him, and said softly.

Hongyan has a hot body, and she exudes this charming force all over her body, which is like a deadly poison to men.

Li Canghai tried not to let himself go to see Hongyan, he took the ginger soup, raised his head and drank it clean.

Wiping his mouth, Li Canghai cupped his fists and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Hongyan. If it wasn't for the girl's help, I'm afraid my bones would have been blown down by the strong wind."

Hongyan smiled slightly, with a trace of sadness on his face.

"Master Li, I will leave Luoyang tomorrow."

Li Canghai asked in surprise, "Why did you leave Luoyang?"

Hongyan sighed, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Li Canghai and said, "Hongyan is an ominous person, staying here will only bring disaster to more people."

Li Canghai remained silent, holding the teacup, after a while, he said: "Huangfu Wei and Yang Su did it on their own, this matter has nothing to do with the young lady, why should the young lady worry about it."

"Mr. Li, there is no need to comfort Hongyan. Hongyan's mind has been made up. If we say goodbye today, we don't know when we will meet again." Hongyan frowned slightly, with a rather helpless expression.

Li Canghai sighed, didn't say any more, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

"Leaving Luoyang, I don't know where the girl is going?"

"I heard that the scenery outside the Great Wall is not the same as that in the Central Plains. Hongyan wants to leave the Central Plains and travel outside the Great Wall." Hongyan said with yearning eyes.

Li Canghai said something to take care of him, then sneezed, his eyelids gradually drooped, and fell asleep on the table after a while.

Seeing that he was asleep, Hongyan yelled softly and began to help him pack the cloth bag.

He slept until dusk, when the rain outside gradually stopped, Li Canghai rubbed his eyes and got up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Cuihong Building, Li Canghai's sleepy eyes suddenly brightened, he looked back at the Cuihong Building, and then went straight to the post house.

In the posthouse, Kang Xu was already waiting for him in the room.

Seeing Li Canghai approaching, Kang Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, I have investigated everything you asked me to investigate."

Li Canghai looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to investigate so quickly, so he asked him to explain the investigation.

"I asked Li Er, and Li Er said that before he killed the doorman of the Gopher Sect, the deceased was in a deep sleep. However, there is one thing that is quite strange." Kang Xu said after briefly explaining the process of the inquiry.

"what's up?"

Kang Xu frowned and said, "Li Er once said that it was his first time to kill someone, and because of his nervousness, he once kicked a stool. But the strange thing is that the deceased was not awakened."

"This matter is indeed a bit strange, A Xu, what do you think?" Li Canghai was keenly aware of the key point of this matter, but he did not say it clearly, but asked Kang Xu.

Kang Xu thought about it for a while, and said, "The Gophers are the best at stealing, they must be very alert, not to mention that it was late at night, and there was such a big movement, it was impossible for him not to notice."

Li Canghai gave him a thumbs up approvingly, nodded and said, "You are right. The Gopher Sect didn't respond at that time. It only meant one thing, that is, he was already dead before Li Er made a move. Because, Only the dead don't react."

Kang Xu opened his mouth and said in surprise, "This...isn't possible!"

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Ah Xu, everything is possible in this world. Go on, have you found out where the gophers have been before their lives?"

Kang Xu looked at him in a little surprise, always felt that his young master seemed to be a different person, he no longer hesitated as before when doing things, and his words became unpredictable.

"The Dishumen worked in Di's house every day and rarely went out. However, Li Er said that he once brought back a jar of good wine from outside. He originally wanted to drink a few cups with Li Er. At that time, Li Er had already With murderous intentions in mind, I didn't drink it."

"Wine? Did you find out where you bought the wine?" Li Canghai's heart skipped a beat, as if he had caught something.

Kang Xu rubbed his chin and recalled: "Li Er only knew what Xianglou was like, but he didn't care about the specifics."

"Jixianglou! It must be Jixianglou." Li Canghai suddenly realized that there is absolutely no other winery in Luoyang that can be called "Xianglou".

"It's such a coincidence that the two deceased have both been to Jixianglou and drank the wine from Jixianglou. Could it be that all this is just a coincidence?" Li Canghai said to himself.

Jixianglou stockpiles countless wines, and sells not one hundred altars, but eighty altars every day.If it was really a problem with the alcohol, why did only the yamen servants and the members of the Gopher Sect have an accident, but the others were fine?
What's more, he had checked the drinks in Jixianglou, and there was nothing unusual.

Seeing Li Canghai lost in thought, Kang Xu scratched his earlobe and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, did you find anything about the emerald jade hairpin?"

Li Canghai was pulled back from his contemplation by Kang Xu, he nodded and said, "I have found out about the emerald jade hairpin, but now there are some mysteries that need to be resolved."

After a short pause, Li Canghai said deeply, "Looks like it's time to meet Yang Su."
